The Russian army is actively equipping its battle tanks with so-called “anti-Javelin” protection, which is an anti-accumulation grille that is welded over the tower.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have checked whether such a design can actually protect the tank from a Javelin missile.
Practical shootings with Javelin anti-aircraft missiles took place, on the orders of the Commander of the Joint Forces, Lieutenant General Oleksandr Pavliuk, at one of the military training grounds in the area of the Joint Forces Operation.
Lattices, which, according to the Russians, were supposed to protect the tank from damage from above, did not help, as evidenced by the photos published above.

Lets start the year with a picture of a Russian tank hit by a Javelin. The high tech protection grill from the local horse smith of the Russian Army did not help much.
Lets not forget though Veth, a failure for ruSSia is a success so long as no more than 25 of their own were killed.
Why would the ruSSians protect their tanks from javelins if they are not preparing an invasion?
No doubt, those in charge in mafia land know this and are counting on the ignorance of their tank crews so that they will attack anyway, thinking they are safe. The scheme is to get the Ukrainians to run out of Javelins before they run out of tanks.
I wouldn’t want to be one of the ruSSo-slime that is told to drive a tank into the Ukrainian meat grinder. They probably just put those bars on there to make the tankers believe it will work.
